Abstract
The article concerns the subjects related to the possibility of defending doctoral dissertations by women at the beginning of the twentieth century. The beginning was laid by the transfer of the Women’s Medical Institute to the subordination of the Ministry of Public Education. The task was to form not only researchers, but also teachers from talented female graduates. Social upheavals gave women the opportunity not only to teach, but also to head the departments of the Institute. Using the example of 5 female graduates of the Women’s Medical Institute, their path to the professorship is considered.
